Austin Brister examines the Texas Supreme Court’s decision in Fasken Oil & Ranch, Ltd. v. Puig and its implications for royalty valuation and postproduction cost deductions.

The decision significantly narrows the reach of “cost-free” royalty language, holding that “produced from” creates an implied wellhead valuation point permitting deduction of postproduction costs.

Austin explores the court’s reframing of Hyder, its expansion of Heritage’s reach, and what the ruling means for historic Texas royalty deed forms and future drafting considerations.

We were proud to sponsor and host the local watch party for LAWteria, a statewide virtual game night hosted by the Hispanic Lawyers Section of the State Bar of Texas and the Texas Access to Justice Foundation benefiting the Stand with Santos campaign for civil legal services.

The event brought together Hispanic leaders from across Texas for a fun and meaningful night of lotería, connection, and support for increasing access to justice in our communities. Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped support this important cause!

As AI becomes more integrated into legal practice, new questions are emerging around privilege, work product, and discoverability.

In the latest edition of The Eason Report, Marcus Eason explores how courts are beginning to address AI-generated filings and whether AI chat records may be protected under attorney-client privilege or the work product doctrine. With a recent federal decision in United States v. Heppner and no clear Texas authority yet on point, the discussion highlights how Texas courts may approach these evolving issues.
